Getting My MBA at 48

It Cold in Chicago

It has been a good day and a easy flight, but it is cold here in Chicago, I guess it is suppose to snow tomorrow, hopefully we will be gone before it starts.

I can’t wait to get some rest, enjoying the nice big room and beds at the Sheraton Four Points, even get some studying done and even some exercise. Really I know it not right but lately I do look forward to the layovers just with I could have more with longer times.

CNN has been posting all the airport closures, some are even posting not to even go to the airports. I feel bad for the passengers, it bad timing for the snow storm and Christmas travelers.

I have a feeling that Monday I will be flying or sitting at the airport because of all this weather. The news just said Washington DC is get hit with a foot of snow.

Well I know I need some time because I am getting behind in my class, well not really because I haven’t started it yet. Got to really hunker down, and get busy.

Ok I need to get some reading done so I am signing off for the night.

Beautiful Day

It has been a beautiful sunny day in Phoenix, while the east coast is getting hammer with snow. I am sure that the airlines are getting behind with snow major delays.

It has been a relaxing day, I tried to get some Accounting done but I have been as some would say “a little down” so it has been hard to concentrate. Just like work, scheduling controlling my schedule it ways heavy on my attitude.

Just found out the snow storms have changed my trip tomorrow, actually this is for the better. Instead of 2 legs a day (Phoenix – Chicago – Philadelphia) then back the next day. Now it is just Phoenix – Chicago overnight for 16 hours, which is cool because I can get some exercising and homework done.

A bright spot.

I was reading Business Week, and the article “The MBA, a Little Less Taxing” by Francesca Di Meglio, it is a good article to get you prepared for the tax season. I know I get to do my taxes different this year because of school, so it is a good reminder of how to get prepared.

I have to start getting all my receipts in one place, so I can get some help at the beginning of the year.

I also need to organize my life a little better, just feel that things are getting out of control. Mostly because of work where I can’t control my schedule.

I did get to read all the news today, even the Wall Street Journal from yesterday. One of the articles in the Los Angeles Times was about The Huffington Post and it making a profit. It also said that it receives 9 million unique visitors a day behind the New York Times that receives 16.6 million unique visitors a day. That would be so cool to have 9 million unique visitors a day. I am happy when it hits 40 to 50 unique visitors a day.

I am not sure I will hit that status with this site because next June I will be finish getting my MBA.

I sure enjoy writing even though some days it is hard to keep up. But just like my classes it is the same as I say.

I am my own taskmaster and my own slave

Discipline and persistence.
